The Writers' Cafe: "A shades triple pot round got to be really big, and the enrgy level increased as well. When kids who were down on their luck (if they were not down on their luck they would be out there flipping like everyone else) saw such games taking place they sometimes offer “luck” to the guy they thought might have have a better chance of winning the pot. They gave luck according to the following procedure. They would gently circle their hands over the top one of the players’ head (I can not recall if they would ever actually touch the players head, or just cirle above, alternatively they may have been rubbing the players back). The one thing I am quite certain of was the incantation that went along with this procedure was the luck giver would chant “wish I had a watermelon, wish I had a watermelon” no less then three times in a row"
